Bioshock: Netflix will make it a cinematographic adaptation, first details

If the video game has often taken cinema as a source of inspiration, it seems that the trend reverses lately. Between the exit of Uncharted, the arrival of The Last of Us, the confirmation of Ghost of Tsushima and the rumors around Jak & DaXter, we realize on the video games interests the film producers. On the side of Netflix, it is a certain bioshock that typed in the eye of the showrunners who have just formalized an adaptation of the game imagined by Ken Levine. For the time being, apart from a tweet and the mention that _ "Netflix, 2K and Take-Two Interactive team up to produce a cinematographic adaptation of the famous bioshock video game franchise", _ there is not much to get under the tooth. We do not even know if it will be a feature film, a mini-series or a series on several seasons.

If this Bioshock project by Netflix will see the light of day, it should be known that this is not the first time we hear about an adaptation to the cinema. In 2008, one year only after the game exit, Gore Verbinski (Pirates of Caribbean, Rango and Lone Ranger) had already for a project to tackle this baroque universe and so mysterious from Rapture with the Big Daddy and Little Sisters. Only Hic, the $ 200 million requested by the director who cooled the producers at the time, too causing the idea of ​​whether such an adaptation would work at the box office, knowing that Gore Verbinski wanted a movie rated-r In the United States, or forbidden at least 17 years. Hope that Netflix has a great vision of the project, because we know how much it's puzzle, not forgetting the bad reputation that Netflix drags when it comes to making adaptations...
